Razor J. R. Torrey 5/8
This razor is definitely keener after being refreshed on the 0.1um balsa and smoother after stropping on the Kanayama. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish. The balsa sharpness...in combination with the comfort of natural edge is just what I need...

Razor Joseph Rodgers 5/8
1st shave with this newly acquired old razor with specially ordered green scales. Well-balanced and easy to maneuver, the razor's edge is nice and smooth but not as keen as I preferred. 3passes for a dfs-sas finish...

2nd shave with this Arkansas edge razor, strop on the Kangaroo leather...wow, very different feeling on this roo strop. Kinda sticky-magnetic-like draw and very enjoyable. This razor's edge smoothness feels different compared to all other razors I owned...interesting. 3passes for a dfs-sas result...

Razor Wade & Butcher 13/16 Wedge
Put this wedge through a 2nd full diamond balsa progression then strop on the Kangaroo leather and yup...the shave was much better. The edge was smoother and keener in 3 passes for a bbs-ccs finish...

Razor Gold Dollar 208
This razor has a LaLune edge but was not satisfied with the sharpness, so put it through the full diamond pasted balsa progression followed by stroping on the Kangaroo leather....and wow! Not only was it soft and smooth but definitely had a crispier keen edge. 3passes for a bbs-ccs finish...nice!!
